gold!
It seems that for many civilizations, a kind of hard currency that can be used universally has the same function as currency.
It's just that in different civilizations, there are some errors in the value of gold, such as how much rations it can be exchanged for.
The things stored in the wooden boxes in front of Ye Qiong are gold!
Pieces of gold bars with a diameter of about twenty centimeters were neatly placed in the wooden box.
For things like gold, if he saw these large boxes of gold nuggets in the past, Ye Qiong would definitely be excited.
But now, there is nothing to be excited about. Even if it increases several times, or if there is any real gold mountain, it will not have much value.
Xuexing's current era is an era where food is the most important thing. If you don't have a full stomach, you can't live, and gold and silver are of no use.
A few years ago, Ye Qiong discovered a river rich in gold sand and gold particles between the mountain base and the giant beast base.
In summer and winter, there will be soldiers passing by and patrolling there. There is no garrison, and there is no mining for the time being.
The reason is that there is no use in mining it.
It can only be stored in the central tribe. This thing is not used by caravans in winter. Small tribes are not very interested in this kind of thing.
The gold nugget in front of you is stored in a wooden box, which means that it is valuable to this tribe!
Being placed alongside these weapons is enough to prove that its value is not low.
In other words, it is already hard currency, the kind that can be circulated.
From this point alone, it can be inferred that the civilization of this tribe has reached a certain scale.
Ye Qiong is not surprised that gold is used as currency. After all, on the earth, known human tribes include civilizations that have disappeared in the long history of history, such as the Mayan civilization and Atlantis. , gold is regarded as an extremely precious thing.
The main reason is actually the stability of gold!
These things can exist independently in nature, and any civilization can find them in the outside world.
After it is found, when the temperature reaches a certain value, it can be reunited in the liquid state to form larger particles!
Good ductility allows gold to be used to make various things. After molding, it can be stored almost forever. In its natural state, the color of gold is bright and golden, making it a perfect jewelry by nature.
But if we look at gold in terms of planets, the amount is very huge. In the vast universe, there are planets made entirely of gold, which are billions of times larger than the earth...
No exaggeration intended.
The gold in these wooden boxes attracted the attention of the soldiers.
Even though gold is of little value in the tribe, the warriors still feel instinctively excited when they see the gold nuggets in the wooden box.
A soldier stretched out his right hand and wanted to take out a gold piece from the wooden box.
"So heavy..."
There was no surprise, and it was within Ye Qiong's expectation. The gold blocks in the wooden box were twenty centimeters long, about ten centimeters wide, and ten centimeters thick.
The soldier reached into the wooden box with one hand, clasped his fingers on the gold block, and wanted to lift it up with one hand.
He really underestimated the weight of the gold nugget!
All joking aside, it is almost impossible to pick up a gold nugget of the same size with just five fingers if the surface is smooth and there are no stress points.
Because the friction it experiences and the friction the fingertips can provide will not increase as the strength of the five fingers increases at a certain angle.
The greater the strength, the greater the consumption of falling, which is completely unsolvable.
unless……
With the power of his five fingers, he can pinch five dents out of a gold nugget!
After having the stress point, it is much easier to pick it up.
It's like a gold nugget tied up with a rope. Any normal adult male can easily pick it up.
It's also like converting it into a dumbbell in proportion.
"Is it that heavy?"
Ye Tianling on the side came to the wooden box with an incredulous expression.
The soldier immediately stepped back and made room for Ye Tianling.
Ye Qiong also took a step to the side and watched Ye Tianling stretch out his right hand and put it into the wooden box.
"Hiss... drink! Hey! Evil..."
There were no surprises. Ye Tianling reached in with one hand and could not move the gold nugget inside.
Ye Tianling, who had been holding back his strength, seemed to have no intention of giving up. After taking a deep breath, his arms continued to exert force!
"Awesome..."
Just when Ye Qiong felt that Ye Tianling was about to give up, he saw Ye Tianling stamp on the ground violently, and then as if some ancient power exploded in his body, five fingers, like pliers, directly pulled the wooden box into place. The gold nugget inside was pinched!
If you look carefully, you will find that there are five shallow dents where the five fingers of Ye Tianling's right hand touch the gold nugget!
After the gold nugget was pinched, Ye Tianling turned his right hand over, and the gold nugget was thrown directly into the air, then turned over and landed in Ye Tianling's palm.
He shook the gold nugget in his hand, felt its weight, and then put it back.
Ye Qiong looked at Ye Tianling's figure and frowned slightly. Just now, when Ye Tianling was exerting all his strength, it seemed as if he had broken through some limit, and Ye Qiong felt something strange...
A resonant feeling, what Ye Qiong felt just now, was that the blood in his body also became excited!
This is also a feeling that has never been felt before, like a bone crystal dagger. After being blessed by the energy of the Lord Forest Ancient Ape, Ye Qiong can feel the position of the arrows mixed with the Lord Forest Ancient Ape's fangs.
The feeling just now also caused a special fluctuation in Ye Qiong's body.
Ye Tianling didn't have any special feelings, but he inadvertently glanced at the soldiers behind him and received the admiring looks from those soldiers.
In addition to the weapons on the wooden wall, there are more than a dozen wooden boxes on the ground, and there are also several boxy things placed further on both sides.
They look quite big, each one is about two and a half meters in diameter, and the height is about the same, much like an oversized Rubik's cube.
Ye Tianling changed his focus, and with the soldiers, he began to study the various weapons on the wooden frame.
Ye Qiong raised the torch and walked towards the large thing on the left.
When we arrived, we discovered that it was a combination of four stone walls!
It was very square. Ye Qiong looked up and then jumped up towards the place where the two stone walls connected...
